It's very humbling to go to sleep Master of the Universe and wake up to a crying baby and feel helpless.

Take a pause when you feel things getting deep to remind your other half and your self that it's not about y'all anymore. The child needs you two to function like a good offensive line during a screen.

Is the baby Pierre Thomas in that example? Lol

Words of wisdom buddy. Nothing will humble a man quite like having a baby LOL. Anyways, enough of that... Back to the topic at hand. I'm really intrigued by the ILB prospects in this draft. I even think some of the designated OLB's like Shazier and Van Noy would be fantastic ILB's if Loomis was interested in upgrading.

The one guy I couldn't live without is that guy from over there. We were talking about him in another thread.

We need a CB and I hope we use our first pick on a good one. Like D'squarius Green Jr or The Player Formally Known As Mouse Cop. Maybe even Jackmarius Tacktheritrix.

Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon just tore it up at his Pro Day yesterday. I heard Rob Ryan was there.

I heard! But you know Tacktheritrix is better than Flaxon-Waxon man!

Chris, class post; way to take the high road...

Good to know we have Black & Gold Members such as you...

Gonna need this sort of player to run up the middle.

Don't know this guy but a C/G is a great approach. We've Lelito moving to Center or, if he does not, as our backup to both Guards. So, we're thin.

Also increases flexibility, by definition. Plus, one would expect a C who can play G to be bigger and stronger. Hate seeing our C pushed back into Bree's step-up lane.

If we get a pure Center, then he should be a great one; otherwise, go for C/G.

I was being a jerk. Thank you for the kind words though. Back to the topic though... If we don't draft either Christian Jones or Andrew Jackson as potential ILB's to replace our current guys then I'll be pi$$ed! I read that Rob Ryan was all over Jones at FSU's Pro Day... I love his versatility. Unfortunately he'll probably be drafted before our 2nd round pick. I'll add him to the list with Jean-Baptiste of guys that I wouldn't be mad if we traded up in the 2nd round to get.

I love the thought of opposing secondaries having to match up with 3 humongous receivers, Graham, Colston, and Kelvin Benjamin.
